The holidays around here would not seem complete without some good old fashion Christmas baking and cookies have always topped our family list.

If you are a cookie fan, this weeks Saturday Inspiration and Ideas needs no introduction – Whether you’re baking as a family tradition, planning a cookie exchange or simply looking for some homemade gifts to give this season – I hope you’re inspired by the recipes below.

WHOA! So many great recipes — thanks for compiling all of these for us! Even though we’re on a strict ‘heart’ diet, I looked at several and I believe they could be modified so looking forward to trying some of these out!

I have to agree with Lucy……..you are the best compiler out there. I really look forward to each and everyone of your blogs. I want to try the one with the cake flour, bread flour and pretzels…..really sounds different.

This is one of the best cookie round ups I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. If I made all that I like I’d be in the kitchen until next Christmas. Thank you so much I know that took lots of time to compile.

these all look fabulous!! I’ll be trying a few of them. I’ve been looking for a Cherry-Wink cookie recipe. I made them every year until I lost the recipe. I’ve made it since but it was missing something like some spice(s). If you have a recipe for them where can I find it? Thanks for you site it is a great list.

Hi, Stephanie Lynn. My name is also the same, ao when I seen this had to comment on your page. It is a great set up you have and love the color and title. What a great job you have done on all of this. Love the recipes! So thanks, Stephanie.

Thanks for these lists of recipes. Many I do not see as Christmas cookies rather cookies for other celebrations that I will use (excited about the chewy lime coconut cookies). I made the checkerboard ones and even though they look hard they are easy and I feel they look so fun and would add a kick to any occasion. Also, they are light and crunchy with a hint of lemon. Will save these to use for the future! Thanks for posting these.
